Late last month, SatireWire ran a story about the Axis of Evil, the Axis of Just as Evil, ... and the Axis of Countries Whose Names End in "Guay."
The Washington Post ran that story in the opinion pages yesterday, mostly unedited (the "Axis of Countries That Sometimes Ask Sheep to Wear Lipstick" was notoriously absent; sorry, gnat).
Apparently, news doesn't travel as fast as the speed of light. CNN is reporting that Iran doesn't like being in the Axis of Evil.
Maybe if there were Gold, Silver and Bronze medals awarded to each of the member nations of the Axis of Evil, there would have been a response a wee bit sooner. (Either that, or it's a slow news day, aside from DNA testing in Afganistan and a couple of knuckledraggers in Utah prospecting for Gold, Silver and Bronze...)
